WTA 1000 ATP 500 Beijing 9/28 - 10/04 2023

Sinner vs Med should be a good one..It is indoors, I hear..Medvedev superior serving and ability to absorb pace, should win the day..the court seems difficult to hit through..the many lopsided scores suggest the court is slow, the server doesn't get cheap points..it will take good serves... But I would expect Medvedev to win.

Wrong this time. Sinner wins in two tiebreaks. Up to career high #4.

Sinner on the week: I think this is maybe the most important thing from this week. First time for me in China. I didn't know exactly what to expect. I was for sure not expecting this kind of reaction, so it was really nice experience.#2023ChinaOpen

Atp pecking order looks a bit unsettled now..almost like the wta! Maybe because the real champion, Djokovic, is MIA?

Based on a top ten player winning an ATP 500 event? Sinner has been close to world #4 for a while now, and this win just confirmed his place near the top of the tour, and a contender for big titles.

[ashkor87]

Not just this one case, I just see more chaos than in the past ..nobody would have picked Sinner to beat Alcaraz and Medvedev one after the other..and I am a big Sinner fan...

[ashkor87]

Osta vs Samsonova, sabalenka vs rybakina . The balls will take a beating..!

[Suliso]

Why not? #4 beating #2 and #3 back to back occasionally seems reasonable to me.
